A nascent and promising business outsourcing industry is focusing on information technology (IT) services such as data entry, network maintenance, and software development. In recent years, at least three institutions have emerged to train young Khmers in drawing characters used in adverting, cartoons, and films. These schools are seeking to tap into a multi-billion-dollar global industry and realize Cambodia's potential to participate in the high-tech services trade. Different institutions in Cambodia are developing students' technical skills related to three-dimensional (3D) animation, each with their particular goals and means. It is a Cambodian non-governmental organization that started in 1986 to bring together children from a refugee camp on the Thai border and teach them visual and performing arts. The institution's courses range from circus acrobatics to traditional music. The visual arts program includes a computer animation studio, 1000 hands that specialize in cartoon animation, with focus on educational and public service projects. Modern IT services offer Cambodia a great potential for diversifying services exports beyond the tourism industry. With effort to develop infrastructure and regulatory policies, and additional hard work from the animation artists, the early promise of seeing Cambodian cartoons on the big screen can well come true.
